    If he's done it  once, chances are he'll do it again. I'd go out and buy yourself some handsome pots and troughs.

Any ideas?

    And different moulds are caused by different things - the mould in your house is totally different to the many many moulds in your garden.

    Can you spray a solution of Jeyes fluid on runner beans when they have blackfly on the stems?

    No! Hose them off Piphop or wipe them off with your hands. image

    I really wouldn't want to eat them if they'd had Jeyes fluid on them. It's serious stuff image

    Great for cleaning your bins and drains though  image

    There was a tree in my neighbour's garden.  It's roots are there all over theirs as well as my garden.  Roots keep on coming up to the surface and grow upwards in over 100 places.  We had the roots dug out about 5/6 years ago.  This slowed down the growth.  In March of this year the tree was taken down and stump was taken out.  However this has led to the influx of roots growth in both the gardens.  We are taking the roots out again.  We find lots of thick roots which we want to kill.  Can any one tell us the liquid or powder which we can apply to the thick roots so that roots can be killed for ever.  Also please tell me if it will harm the grass if it is laid back over the roots.

    I have just washed some terracotta pots in a solution of jeyes fluid and water before putting some geranium cuttings into them, as I put them indoors on the kitchen windowsill I could soon smell the distinct aroma of Jeyes fluid and thought that maybe the cuttings would suffer, the smell from the jeyes fluid soon disappeared and the cuttings are looking good.
